Additional Notes

  • The cooling system capacity across all listed configurations of the Nissan 240SX S13 is 6.7 liters, a figure that reflects a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill measurement.
  • Under normal use conditions, the coolant change interval is set at 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first, for both the 1988-1990 and 1990-1994 configurations.
  • A first change only interval of 60,000 miles or 48 months is specified for both the 1988-1990 and 1990-1994 configurations, meaning the factory-fill coolant is rated to last twice as long before the initial drain compared to subsequent normal-use intervals.
  • The 6.7-liter capacity figure remains unchanged between the 1988-1990 and 1990-1994 configurations, indicating no cooling system volume difference across the two defined production periods.
  • The 1990 model year appears in both the 1988-1990 and 1990-1994 configuration groupings, placing it at the boundary of two defined specification sets that share identical capacity and interval values.
